    Math Word Problem on Speed
    A car traveled 281 miles in 4 hours 41 minutes. What was the average speed of the car in miles per hour?

    I'd convert the time measurement into one unit, say minutes, and find what the distance per unit is. Converting the units to hours is then a simple multiplication/division exercise.
